Nine employees of the City brewery are
in trouble, and four have already been
arrested by Constable Stevens and
deputy. charged with assault with intent
to kill two Mexioans and a boy at ss-
loon on Josephine street, at the bridge,
last night. They were drinking in the
saloon when the Mexicans came In to
take a glass of beer. One Of the brewery
men was flOurishiDg pistol and the
Mexican asked him what he was going
TO do with it. He replied he WAS going
to kill Mexican, and began swapping
the pistol In the Mexican's face. The
man backed out the door, and as the last
chamber in the pistol cylinder was
reached the ball exploded and almost
powder burned the Mexican's face. The
Mexicans ran of, and when they passed
the brewery later they say they saw the
crowd armed with knives and shOtguns
waiting for them. As soon as all are ar
rested Justice Barnes will give them a
preliminary examination.

Blessed Rain.

Good hard rains fell all last night over
the city and all along the Arkansas Pass
road north, as far as Comfort and south
to Wallis. On the Southern Pacific rain
fell all night and until ~ a. III. today, as
far west as Uvalde and east to beyond
Houston. Rain fell also west to Castro
vile and beyond. The AlaZan creek Is
so high in its banks as to be unfordable,
also is the Sslado, and the river and the
San Pedro creek, are on little high
water boom.
Mr.. Coulson, the dairyman, living four
miles west of the city, says 1t rained at
his place nearly as hard as 1t did one
year ago in the great storm. The rain
gauge at the head of the river showed a
rain fall Of So OF an inch.

Italians are Split.

There seems to be little split in the
Italian population of this city at present
about the respective annual celebrations
for this year. One faction desires to
celebrate the Fall of Rome, as was done
last year in such fine style. The other
faction, who are more Catholic in their
tendency, desire to appease the wrath
of the Pspal bull and wish to celebrate
the landing of Christopher Columbus, on
American soil, Oct. IL, 1892. Both sides
will come together in big meeting to
be held soon and then the matter will be
considered and settled.

They Complain of Il.

Residents in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Sinner jacals, in the First
ward, are complaining of the nuisance
committed daily along the banks Of the
San Pedro creek by Mexicans residing
there. The stencil, they say, csused by
this nuisance, in conjunction with the
aroma OF the filthy creek, is very in
furious to health, and should, they
think, be looked after by the proper au-
thOrities.

Gallagher asked why no provision had
been made for that cOlOred school west

a Big Man Now,

William Taylor is not naturally very
big man, but today he is quite BrOb-
dingnagian. Yet he seems to touch the
ground with buoyancy of air. The cause
for this transformation lies in the fact
that Mrs. Taylor presented him with a
fourteen pound boy yesterday, and he is
naturally elated at the parental bonors
conferred upon him.

The Latest Yankee Craze.

At the forthcoming American Ex-
hibition in London, We are promised,
among other novelties,a q house Of straw,
which is now being made in Philsd-l-
phia. This house is to represent an
American suburban villa, announced
10 be "handsome and artistic in de-
sign," two and q half stories high, and
covering space Of AZ feet by so feet.
1t is constructed entirely Of materials
manufactured from straw-founda-
tions. timbers. flooring, sheathing,
roofing, everything in fact, including
the chimneys-the material being FIRE
proof as we'll as water proof. The in.
side finish is to be in imitation rose
wood, mahogany, walnut, maple, ash,
ebony and other fine woods, the straw
lumber taking perfectly the surface
and color'of aaRy desired wool. This
straw house is, in the first place, to il
lustrate Philadelphia's commercial,
financial and industrial interests by
means Of large photographs of the
leading buildings; but it will also
demonstrate how far the inventive
Yankee has succeeded, not in showing
us how to make bricks without straw,
but how to produce timber from straw.
If, after this brilliant illustration of
inventive genius, we do not bow down
and worship him as the "licker" Of
creation. We may. consider ourselves
lost to all sense Of what is proper un-
der the circumstances.

The Material for Cannen.

A we'll known character Of central
New York is William H. Sweet, of
Syracuse, Of whom a friend said re-
ceatly: There is only one Bill Sweet
in the world" Mr.. Sweet is at the
he'd of an iron mandatory which
bear his name. He was in New York
day or two ago While in converse.
tion with Mr.. Sweet the subject of
government armament came up, when
he said: 81 have contended for twen-
ty Eve years that the proper material
for making cannon is cast steel. As
long ago as 1864 l cast a steal ingot
of $4,000 pounds weight and sent it
to Washington, where it was tested,
and then gave my opinion that this
was the material for cannon. The
proper method Of treating it is to cool
the steel after manufacture to point
Of 40 degs. below zero and then grad
ually heat it until it is medium red
hot, and keep it in that condition for
IA woek or ten days, and then gradual
ly allow it to cool. When that has
been done it has merely to be bored
out for a cannon. 1t will have the
necessary elasticity and strength.
There is no necessity to do anything
with the outside except to paint it
over. Even if it is little rough, it
is not the outside that connts in
cannon; it is the bore "-New York

The Pow ers of the Coming Brain.

We sly that education is process
of training and furnishing the mind
but what is the mind? That its ulti-
mate essence is an ethereal something,
without weight or dimension, We be-
lieve; but this is beyond the province
Of practical education. The brain, for
all practical purposes. is what we are
called upon to educate. By Studying
this organ We find that it is composed
of fbres, curiously and orderly ar
ranged, and that the quality Of mind
in the lower animals and man is deter
mined by the number of it's convolu-
tions and the fineness- Of its texture:
Could the hrains Of all the orders of
animals. from simple nerve center to
the highest type of human brain, be
arranged in order before us, We should
have an illustrated history of a mind.
During long SUGGESTIONS of cons the
brains have been developing from the
simplest convolution of nerves to the
best brain yet evolved. All this, we
believe, has been worked up" under
the guidance of a.supreme power,
whose guiding hand has been active
through all the ages in the multitude
nous forms of progressive animal and
vegetable life, until we hold to day
the advanced position we now occupy.
But creation is on an onward march,
and education hastens it forward. At
no time in the history Of the physical
universe has mind occupied so high
place, whether We regard its quality
or quantity, and at no time in the flu
ture will it occupy so low place as
now. The powers of the coming brain
will far exceed anything the world
has vet School Journal.

A citizens mass meeting was held in
Chickering Hall tonight to advocate
high license and restriction of the liquor
traffic. Ex Judge Noah Davis pre-.
sided. O., the stage were Rev. DR..
Howard Crosby, Eaoch B. Fancher,
Rev. W. r. Huntington, John Jacob
Astor. Oswald Ottendorfer, Cornelius
N Bliss; Charles Scribner AMI fifty
others.
DR.. Crosby was the first speaker.
He said: prohibition in this large
city was impracticable, because un.
American. Local option was the
rule of the State, but it would not do
in this big town. High license alone
would work reform. Put the license
so high that only very few dealers
could pay it. and then let only half Of
these be licensed"
Other speeches were made,in which
the same ground was taken. Mayor
Hewitt wrote letter, in which he
said as between prohibition and high
license, the general evidence seemed
to show the former was failure, and
the latter comparative success in the
States where it had been tried.
